Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
B. Represent and interpret data.
C. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
D. Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.
E. Describe and compare measurable attributes.
F. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
G. Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
H. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
I. Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
J. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
K. Tell and write time.
L. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
M. Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
N. Work with time and money.
O. Relate addition and subtraction to length.


Thought: In this problem, students work with money in the form of coins.
Answer: N

options: Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers.

Represent and model with vector quantities.

Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations.

Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems.

Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.

Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.

Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Represent complex numbers and their operations on the complex plane.

Perform operations on matrices and use matrices in applications.

Use properties of rational and irrational numbers.

Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.

Perform operations on vectors.

Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this Math Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for solving inequalities. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students will need to be able to solve inequalities in order to match them with the appropriate graph and situation.
Launch
Display one problem at a time. Give students quiet think time for each problem and ask them to give a signal when they have an answer and a strategy. Keep all problems displayed throughout the talk. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Mentally solve for
\(x\)
.
\(5x<10\)
\(10>6x-2\)
\(9x<5-23\)
\(11(x-3)<46-2\)

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share their strategies for each problem. Record and display their responses for all to see. To involve more students in the conversation, consider asking:
“Who can restate
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s reasoning in a different way?”
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone solve the problem in a different way?”
“Does anyone want to add on to
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s strategy?”
“Do you agree or disagree? Why?”
